Personally my feeling is that the BCL basically proves that it is possible to build large and very usable class libraries *without* MI. I say this as a former MI lover (my primary previous life was with ATL which bordered on pathological use of MI :)). Adding MI support would significant increase the complexity of CLI execution engines for marginal benefits so I really don't expect to ever see it supported natively in the CLI type system. I think generics support will turn out to be much more enabling.
